Hey idiot - just because you're hot doesn't mean the runt is. Air
conditioning can cause major lung problems. What not use water mist?

You're angling for a bigger boat.

This season is wrapping up and Thomas may get one or two sails in, but I'm
concerned about the hot months next year. How do couples keep babies cool
under
sail on hot days? I see them sailing, but I still have concerns. I have a
AC
system for the boat (not installed), but it would require a small genset
to
keep running under sail. Thoughts from kiddie-cruiser experts out there?

Bob, ignore those idiots on Alt.sailing.asa. With temps on the LIS commonly
in excess of 90 degrees, temps beneath a dodger or in the cabin can become
dangerous for children. You're wife was correct to be concerned as all children
are different and can't always tolerate high temps. My daughter has had
problems, especially as an infant with this, but it improved by our 2nd year
aboard. I especially like that idiot Katy, who thinks a nurse training for med
S. would be trained in pediatrics! Donal's advice may be best. Observe
carefully and take it slow before committing to even short trips. You'll see,
it will all go well. Let us know when the 41 is ready!

The angling is over and the bigger boat is all picked out. We're currently
deciding if the Chesapeak suits us or if we should seek warmer climates.

You wouldn't like the Chesapeake, it's polluted and there's hardly
ever any wind over 4kts. In the summer it's very hot and humid, bad
for baby's health. 85% of the bay is only 5' deep, lots of groundings.
Sharks in the lower bay, poisonous jelly fish are abundant every
where. Lots of power boat and big ship traffic. Pirate ships, too.
Dead fish floating and tons of crab traps to foul your prop. Marina
thefts have risen 225% the last 3 years.

Geeks and dorks are usually trim and healthy. We've seen what the slob looks
like.

Geeky AND dorky at the same time.

Don't stop here on your way south. The sailors on the Chesapeake would show
you what your really made of ......... ****.

Every neonatal intensive care unit in the country is air conditioned.
Maybe they're trying to drum up business.
